Coco Rocha’s complete photo spread for Romeo and Juliet

For the December 2008 issue of Vogue, distinguished photographer Annie Leibovitz recreated the Shakespearean love tragedy Romeo and Juliet entitling it “Love of a Lifetime.” Famous model Coco Rocha plays the role of the dreamy Juliet and ballet dancer Roberto Bolle is Romeo. The 33-year old Bolle “possesses an inherent sensuality tempered by an aura of extreme refinement” and the dancer has also made modeling appearances for Salvatore Ferragamo and the Gap. Coco looks romantic and loving with the various dresses she wears in the Italian setting. This incredible play between the star cross’d lovers is brought to life by this beautiful photo spread. The complete story appears in the December 2008 issue of Vogue, which features Jennifer Aniston on the cover.

The New Chanel Homme Collection starring Scott Schuman

Scott Schuman more commonly known as the creator of the popular fashion blog “The Sartorialist” photographed Chanel’s new Homme Collection for Fantastic Man magazine Issue #8. Schuman is known for taking beautiful “real people” photography and this absolutely reflects his outstanding style. It has got to be one of the best fashion editorials for some time now and many people are already in love with the photo shots. Probably not many know that one of the world’s most prestigious fashion house, Chanel is making menswear. It sure isn’t as popular as the womenswear and the jewellery line, but Chanel menswear is gaining speed and attention! This new collection is rich in fitted black pants tucked in suede ankle boots, dark heavy coats, fitted blazers with scarves and my favorite – the black and white tweed loosely fitted coat with the pearl necklace.

First Photo of “Coco Avant Chanel”

One of the most anticipated films, “Coco Avant Chanel” just released its first look starring the beautiful Audrey Tautou who will play the icon Coco Chanel in her earlier days. Filming began in early September in Paris and Normandy and the movie is set to be released in late 2009. Directed by Anne Fontaine, the film is loosely based on the biography of Mademoiselle Chanel by Edmonde Charles-Roux titled L’irreguliere. The much awaited costumes, which will also feature iconic Chanel dresses, will be designed by Catherine Leterrier with Karl Lagerfeld’s oversight.

“Any woman who wants to invent a destiny for herself can identify with the early years of Coco Chanel, a young uneducated woman who dreams of entering the world while exacerbating her differences and ignoring everything of the extraordinary destiny awaiting her,” says Tautou. “That’s what makes the whole modernity of the film, and that was the reason why I didn’t hesitate a single second when the role was offered to me.”
